It contains words such as because, so, and therefore.
C
It contains words such as although, similarly, and yet.
D

E

Explanation
A compare-and-contrast text explains how two or more things are alike and how they differ. Words such as “although,” “similarly,” and “yet” can signal comparisons or contrasts. Supporting a claim with reasons and evidence, and using words such as “because” and “therefore,” are more typical of an argument structure.
